Version 0.6.3

Features¶

• (root) Root execution service that can be easily used by webOS homebrew developers without a need of separate privilege escalation handling (luna://org.webosbrew.hbchannel.service/exec)

• (root) Disable some telemetry
• (root) Startup user hooks (executable scripts present in /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d are run on bootup)
• (root) Remote access
  • SSH - public key authenticated (with default alpine password until authorized keys are provisioned)
  • Telnet - unauthenticated, use sparingly
